This is why the royal husbands don’t wear wedding rings

If you weren’t too busy being swept up in the romance of the royal wedding, you might have noticed that Princess Eugenie didn’t appear to put a wedding ring on her new husband’s finger.

While Jack Brooksbank sweetly struggled to slip her new band on, there was no scene of her doing the same to him.

In fact, it’s not unusual for the male members of the royal family to choose not to wear a ring. Eagle-eyed royal fans will already know that Prince William, Prince Charles and Prince Philip don’t wear rings - but this certainly isn’t a reflection of their marriages.
“There is no royal tradition for men wearing or not wearing a wedding ring,” British and European royalty expert Marlene Koenig told Town & Country.
When the Duke of Edinburgh married the Queen in 1947 it was still unusual for men to wear a band, so he chose not to. Prince Charles continued the trend - although he did choose a signet ring for his little finger when he married Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall - and Prince William also followed family tradition.
A palace aide said at the time: “It was something the couple discussed but Prince William isn’t one for jewellery – he doesn’t even wear a signet ring – and decided he didn’t want to.
“It really is just down to personal preference.”

Prince Harry, however, opted to wear a wedding band when he married Meghan Markle earlier this year. But while most expected his band to be made from the royal Welsh gold, as Kate Middleton's is, he opted for a platinum band.
